What is the material of 304 stainless steel?

304 stainless steel pipe is a stainless steel brand produced according to American ASTM standard. The 304 stainless steel pipe is equivalent to the domestic 0cr19ni9 (0cr18ni9) stainless steel pipe. 304 contains 19% chromium and 9% nickel.

304 stainless steel pipe is widely used as stainless and heat-resistant steel, which is used in food equipment, general chemical equipment and atomic energy industry equipment.

304 stainless steel pipe is a general stainless steel pipe, which is widely used to manufacture equipment and parts that require good comprehensive performance (corrosion resistance and formability).

304 stainless steel pipe is the most widely used stainless steel and heat-resistant steel. Used in food production equipment, chemical equipment, nuclear energy, etc.

A high alloy steel resistant to air or chemical corrosive medium. Stainless steel is a kind of steel with beautiful surface and good corrosion resistance. It does not need surface treatment, such as color electroplating, but exerts its inherent surface properties. It is widely used and is usually called stainless steel. High alloy steels such as 13 Cr steel and 18-8 Cr-Ni steel are its representative properties.

From the metallographic point of view, because stainless steel contains chromium, a very thin chromium film is formed on the surface, which isolates the oxygen invading the steel and plays a role in corrosion resistance. In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, steel must contain more than 12% chromium.
